Dat 26 of 30

Before I saw anything, before I even entered my studio, I knew something was up. 
To be perfectly honest, up and down.

The scent of the paperwhite narcissus blossoms is distinctive, certainly not easy to miss. The bulbs from Day 3 of this challenge had been growing rapidly this past week and I was looking forward to them blooming. 
But when I looked for them, well, they were gone. 
There was however, a lot of water.

And sure enough, under the table was a bowl on it's side, several leggy/rooty flower stems, and tons of cranberries all scattered over the floor. After cleanup, I figured I'd better make good on my promise to paint them after they bloomed... so here you have Day 26. 
   
Lesson #1:   Stake the stalks before it's too late.
Lesson #2:   Dogs will eat raw cranberries given the chance. Which is good, because it insures that they won't
                   get scurvy, in case you were worried about that.
